90th Birthday Card

Here's a special card I made for my Mother's 90th birthday. The paper is a beautiful rose print from an older Hunkydory set. I used a die set from Card Making Magic (Octagon Box Kit) for much of the card base & layers.  I've also used dies from Stampin' Up!s Spotlight on Nature for some of the circle layers - along with some circle dies.  Finally, I used some alphabet and number dies from my stash to complete the focal.

Inside:

The poem was adapted from one created by Gemini AI, and printed on patterned paper from Microsoft Word (I created a couple of circles to help me with placement of the words so I had room left for the die cut roses - which I then removed before printing).  The rose sprays were created from Paper Artist dies from Hot Off the Press.  I die cut them from gold foiled poster board and pink glitzy paper.

Box: 

 And here's the pretty box I made to hold it.

Swap Card & More

 

Today I have a couple of quick cards using an old Luxury Card Collection kit from Hunkydory called Winter Wildlife of Britain.  These particular cards come from the Fallow Deer and Hedgehog set - though I've focused on the Hedgehogs this time and saved the deer for later.  I really appreciate Hunkydory supplies when I am short on time and inspiration - their beautiful focals, embellishments, sentiments, and "Adorable Scoreable" cardstock (AS) make creating a breeze!

Changes Coming

 

This is just a heads up to let you know that this blog will be changing a bit. As of now, I will no longer be posting my Stampin' Up! makes to this blog.  As an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, I really need a blog dedicated to Stampin' Up! products. So, going forward, you can see those makes here at https://cheringloveofpaper.blogspot.com/.   

I will still post here, when the focus is on products from other companies, but because I need to focus on growing my business, I expect that the bulk of what I make will be posted on the Cher-ing Love of Paper blog going forward.

Easel Cards Class 2

Today I have four cards - made from two different half sheets of designer series paper (DSP) called Marbled Elegance.  I also used stamps and dies from the Hearts of Elegance bundle.  I'm using up some of my stash, so both papers and stamp/die bundle are currently discontinued.  However, there are plenty of materials currently available that would work well.  Try this paper, and this stamp/die bundle.

There is a video that shows how I made these cards - here.
